How Human Albumin 20% Is Given

Human Albumin 20% is not a self-administered medicine. It is given as an intravenous (IV) infusion by trained medical staff in a hospital. Because it is a concentrated solution, it is usually infused slowly, and the amount and rate are decided by the treating team based on the condition, blood pressure, fluid balance, and blood test results. The patient is monitored closely during the infusion for fluid overload. Never attempt to obtain or use this product outside a medical setting.

• Adequate hydration must be ensured, as the concentrated form pulls fluid from the tissues
• Can rarely cause allergic or infusion reactions
• Made from human plasma; manufacturers take extensive steps to reduce the risk of infection, though no plasma product can be described as entirely without risk
